Document Summary
Vanishing point: the point to which all lines in one direction will converge. Rule of thumb: vanishing points should be at least 4 times the radius of your cone of vision. Horizon: a line at eye level to which all lines vanish, and is the same line at the horizon that the observer sees. Measuring line: vertical line perpendicular to horizon. Drawn when the plane of the object is parallel to the eyes, and all lines vanish to one point on the horizon in front of you. When the object is not parallel to the plane of eyes. There are always two vanishing points on the horizon, but in one vanishing point, one becomes irrelevant. Appropriate when vertical lines in the object are long, and therefore, vanish as well. For a long or tall building if its mostly above or below eye level.
